Snowflake Season

For my One Crazy Stamper card today I have combined a couple of different images.  This card includes the adorable Winter Moose image as well as the Forest image.

The entire card was colored with Copic markers including the sky, which is a technique I am working hard on getting right.  The snowflakes were made with a Sakura white glaze pen.

Greatest Gifts

    

Christmas is quickly approaching - the time to share memories with family and friends, and my card  today celebrates the season!

This sweet image is from High Hopes Rubber stamps newest release Woodsy Christmas and is called Christmas Penguins.  I have colored the image with Copics and added white highlights with a Sakura white glaze pen.  The image was mounted on Photo Play's Mad 4 Plaid Christmas paper from last year.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Rubber Stamps and can be found here.

I'll Be Home for Christmas!

Wednesday's roll around way too fast for me - but maybe that's because I spend so much time with the three grand babies - hmmmmm!  Anyhow, it's Wednesday again so that means it's time for me to share another sweet image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps newest collection Woodsy Christmas!

This is Cocoa Gnome that I have colored with Copic markers, then added highlights of Sakura white Glaze pen and Viva Decor pearl dots.  The colors of the image match the paper perfectly, which is an older paper from my stash.  A sentiment also from High Hopes Rubber Stamps completes the card!

Jingle Canadian Christmas Greetings

Fall is in the air here in British Columbia, and with that in mind my thoughts turn to Christmas and all of the cards I need to make.  This card features one of my favorite images from High Hopes Rubber stamps.

This is Canadian Christmas Greetings that I stamped on to Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento ink and then colored with Copic Markers.  I paired the image with Christmas paper from Photo Play, some red twine and a sentiment from My Favorite Things.

Gnomes at Night

Welcome to One Crazy Stampers release of the new High Hopes "A Magical Day" images.  Each day for the last week the design team members have been sharing their products using images from the release, and today it's my turn!!

This adorable image is "3 Little Garden Gnomes" that I instantly fell in love with!!  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and added Prismacolor pencils for added depth and detail.  Each gnome hat received a touch of either Wink of Stella Gold, Sakura white glaze pen or Sakura Clear Star for added sparkle, and the crystal ball has hints of the white gel pen.  The image was then fussy cut and placed on the galaxy background I created with Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot distress inks.  For even more detail on the background I used the Sakura Glaze pen to add dots to represent stars!  The sentiment is also from the new release and is available here.

Hoppy Easter!!!

Wednesday is here again which means it's time for me to showcase an adorable High Hopes Stamp, and in honor of Easter that is just around the corner, here's Bunny in a Bucket!!!

Isn't this just the cutest little bunny and it's been caught stealing the carrots that the gardener just picked!!  The image was stamped with My Favorite Things Cement Grey ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock - this is my favorite ink to use when I want to do no line coloring!  I colored the image with Copic markers and added details with Prismacolor pencils.  The writing on the bucket was written with a white Sakura Glaze pen, and the carrots lying on the ground were created with Viva Decor Pearl pens in orange and kiwi.  Details on the carrots and the Hoppy Easter sentiment were hand drawn with a Copic Multiliner.

Christmas in February

Happy Wednesday and last day of February!  Hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of a new month - where, oh where did time go?!!!  As it is Wednesday it is time for me to showcase another adorable image from High Hopes Stamps for One Crazy Stamper.  This week I've done another Christmas themed card in the hope that I will have a whole stack of them this year!

Fluffle Hugs!!!

Did you know that a group of bunnies is called a Fluffle?  Seemed fitting for this card to be entitled Fluffle Hugs!  I decided to make a fluffle of bunnies using the High Hopes Rubber stamp image "Flop Eared Rabbit (H013), by masking and stamping the image five times.  Gotta love fluffles!!

After the image was grouped together I colored them with Copic markers, and then added depth and highlights with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I then fussy cut the fluffle, and placed it on to a card front with a clear acetate panel, showcasing the patterned paper on the inside of the card.  The stamped sentiment is from one of my Stamping Bella images, and HUGS was cut with a My Favorite Things die.

Snowy Greetings

Hard to believe but there are only 20 days left before Christmas arrives, and I don't know about you but I am not even close to being prepared.  Somewhere I need to find more time in the days!  I did finally get the chance to color and today's card is the final result.

 

My card features another adorable image from High Hopes stamps entitled Hope For Peace Snowy that I have colored with Copics.  Lately I have been seeing cards on Pinterest and blogs that show the image with white lines, so after I finished coloring the image, I took a Sakura white glaze pen and traced over all of the black lines - the finished result really gives a different look to the image.  The image was fussy cut, then adhered to the card front along with the sentiment that is a beautiful Tattered Lace die.  Liquid applique adds detail to the snow around the snowman base, and glitter added to the snowflakes of the sentiment add another element.
